GARRETT: why *NOT* do an rss feed from pricelessware dot o..

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.freeware,alt.comp.freeware.discussion,alt.comp.freeware.games,alt.freeware (More info?)

with all the "buzz" about rss newsfeeds - why not add an rss feed to the
pricelessware websites to notify of updates, files now shareware or no
longer supported, etc. ? the news items can be pulled directly from
acf.....

obviously someone would be the point person in pulling the info out of acf
or something (verifying links and stuff); maybe once a week thing ?

i think suzanne is pissed 'cause she didn't think of it first.

Doesn't sound like a bad idea.

What does everyone else think?

There's enough people around who basically already do that and post it
to ACF, so it would be kind of nice to have it centralized so that
everyone and websites could easily be notified.

I doubt that, if anything, she is happy that someone brought it up.

I just discovered that the beta version of alt.comp.freeware, itself,
does have its own RSS feed. Right now the beta is about a day behind,
but usually posts appear in real time. Check it out.
